Epigraph
‘You, an atypical collage of literary hubris.’
~Gold Hat Poet
a turn of phrase
a section of a poem
a string of song lyrics
a dramatic quotation
a preamble to text
adding dimension
serving as a preface
a diminutive summary
a pledged illustration
to bond the substance of
the body of written work
to a broader literary tenet
to summon subtle contrast
or solicit straight context
epigraph
in a book
if I were a chapter
what words would
the writer choose
to preface me

I wrote this in direct response to a dear friend's good news today. Inspired by our shared love of writing and our common desire to mark the world with creativity, I wanted to celebrate her current success in words. This is her new chapter in life, I wonder what the epigraph will be? Perhaps something like, "She believed, therefore she received." Or any other variation of you did it!
Happy successes, whatever they may be!
In propinquity,
Nic
